already stored there to be gradually consumed to prevent starving.
Many people who go on a diet for reducing flesh in a few days complain
of great, weariness, exhaustion and gnawing hunger in the pit of the
stomach. A diet that cuts down the supply of food with the intention
of reducing is extremely dangerous unless it is supervised by a
physician. But persons who wish to make a visible reduction of flesh
in a time ranging from five to six weeks can do so, if they will learn
the foods that cause and feed these flesh-forming tissues and learn to
replace this with non-fat-forming foods.
And summer time is an ideal time to accomplish a reduction of flesh

WHAT THESE BREAKFASTS ELIMINATE
The sugar and cream from fruit and coffee and the butter from the
toast--all of which are fat-forming foods. Toasting bread dexterizes
the starch and thus helps the digestion of this starchy product.
Breakfast may be eaten from 7 to 8.30 A.M., and is so balanced that
those who board or take their meals in restaurants may easily follow
the diet. Now, during the warm weather, it is most important to eat
lightly during the noon period, and for this reason a light luncheon
will be provided. Those who are employed in sedentary occupations
